There's the Aguilar AGRO, the RBI and RPM, what other rack mountable overdrive, distortion and fuzz are out there? |

Still, good sounds inside IMO. |

I'll bet it sounds just as awesome as the rat itself. and I've noticed it has 2 channels. perhaps 1 channel is for rhythm and 1 channel is for lead. that sort of thing would be pretty useful for bass solos. I'll bet that proco rat fans would like to have a rack-mount like that.

They don't show up on ebay.ca. They probably don't ship to Canada.

Since everyone here is talking about rackmounts, I was wondering has anyone here ever tried the rocktron gainiac 2 tube distortion rackmount on bass? I know there's the blue thunder, but I wonder has anyone tried the gainiac 2. I'll bet it sounds pretty cool on bass.

Of course you can shelf mount pedals and remote swith them.
Kep in mind you STILL need foot pedals to remote switch rack gear. :what: | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
